Isaiah 26:7
King James Version
7 The way of the just is uprightness:
thou, most upright,
dost weigh the path of the just.
What is just?
What is justice?
Is the world just?
Are our authorities just?
Are nations just?
What is the symbol of justice in the world?
Is it not what they call "Lady justice"?
Do people know her origins?
Does she not spring from two goddesses:
"Themis" -- Greek goddess of "divine law and order"
"Justitia" -- Roman goddess of the "virtue of justice"
I can now see why the world is in chaos.
Many honor gods.
If there's one chaotic profession, it would be law.
In my country, bickering is common among lawyers, and politicians.
When law students graduate, there's great pride.
As they take their bar exams, they act "fragile" and "entitled".
Making sure there are security measures to "protect" them.
These are our future lawmakers?
As if they're already VIPS, far transcending other examinees in other fields.
And not just in my country.
Talking about timing.
As if to support my observation, check what's happening to an ivy league law school in the U.S.
Is that representative of how they shall conduct themselves in the future?
How, then, can they judge righteously?
They honor female gods.
They honor themselves.
They honor anyone, BUT GOD.
Really think upon it.
What does "justice" mean?
Merriam-Webster defines it as:
"the maintenance or administration of what is just especially by the impartial adjustment of conflicting claims or the assignment of merited rewards or punishments"
I like that word, "impartial".
But is man impartial?
Are our thoughts unclouded?
Are we free of "vested interests"?
Are we free from a love of money or power?
As born again, I only turn to GOD's WORD.
What does the Bible say about justice?
What is required of a true believer?
This ought to end ALL debate:
Micah 6:8
King James Version
8 He hath shewed thee, O man,
what is good;
and what doth the Lord require of thee,
but to do justly,
and to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with thy God?
One such rightful judge was king Solomon.
Endowed by GOD with wisdom, and wealth, he ruled well.
He only became corrupted when he honored his wives' gods.
More than he honored GOD.
That was his downfall.
Thus, the grave consequences, from which Israel reeled.
One example of his judging righteously can be found here:
Strange, "TWO women" again.
Two female gods.
Two women to be judged.
SPIRIT makes me pay attention.
To every detail that matters.
Which, for many, don't matter at all.
But all I care is what SPIRIT calls my attention to.
In the midst of writing an article, more "treasures" are revealed.
That's how we get to create all those blogs, and books.
I must explore it, thresh it out, ponder upon it.
For there's much to share with you.
What does it take to be a good judge?
What does it take to do justice?
What is acceptable in the eyes of GOD?
We shall explore more verses in another post.
For now, know this:
Proverbs 21:3
King James Version
3 To do justice and judgment
is more acceptable to the Lord
than sacrifice.
Jeremiah 17:10
King James Version
10 I the Lord search the heart,
I try the reins,
even to give every man according to his ways,
and according to the fruit of his doings.
Galatians 6:7
King James Version
7 Be not deceived;
God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap.
Know who you serve.
By checking your work's FOUNDATION.
We all need an eye-opener.
Which SPIRIT and Scripture give us.
It's time to SERVE the LORD.
